Did Russell Brand Throw A Phone Through A Window?

Russell Brand got into an altercation with a paparazzo in New Orleans on Monday, wrestling away the photographer’s iPhone and allegedly hurling it through a nearby window.

The man, Timothy Jackson, filed a police report citing “criminal damages” after the incident with Brand, which purportedly occurred after Jackson and other paparazzi noticed the actor-comedian and began to snap shots.

Brand is said to have been infuriated, grabbing Jackson’s cell phone and throwing it through the window of an abandoned building.

Jackson immediately contacted the police, who confirm to Gossip Cop that they are trying to get Brand’s side of the story.
